It had been a while since Aiden had dyed his hair back to his unusual blonde.


His black roots were beginning to show, so he knew it was about time to bleach it.

But obviously, it would be more fun with someone to help, and who better to ask than his favorite ginger!



Aiden's P.O.V


I'm sat in front of my bathroom mirror, on top of an old creaky barstool I dragged into the room. Ash said she would be here soon, so I left the front door unlocked.


I don't think she really knows how to bleach hair, but that's okay. I'd enjoy her company either way.

I start to pour all the chemicals into a small mixing bowl, just to be ready. I pull out a box of gloves from underneath the sink and a medium sized mixing brush.

I was blasting some music through my air-pods, until I saw my bathroom door swing open, revealing a short girl standing, holding a—shirt?

" why did you bring that?" I eye her up and down. " I've never done this before, and if I ruin my clothes I'm not leaving your house looking crazy. " she replies, placing the extra shirt down and throwing he braids up into a claw clip.

I laugh at this response, " you always look crazy" I drop my head back down to mixing the ingredients.I hear a faint 'mhm sure' as she takes a fuzzy towel and places it around my shoulders,


" I feel like I'm at a real hair salon! " I study her featured in the mirror, "then get ready for the worst haircut of your life." She remarks, smirking a little before leaning down over me to grab some of the gloves on the counter.


.


"Y'wanna know something funny??" It had been a good half hour into bleaching my hair. "Hm?" "Once I first bleached my hair—it turned bright orange, I looked like Ed Sheeran for a little bit until I re-applied" I state smiling a little, my mom was horrified when I did it, but I dont think she cares now. "Well what did you expect, you tried to go from black to blonde in a single night. " Ashlyn flicks the side of my head as if it was a punishment.


" well it doesn't matter now, my perfectly blonde locks will be better than ever" I look up to meet Ashlyn's eyes, but she forces my head straight again, "you mean your off green-locks?" She laughs slightly. " I will not take such slander from a GINGER" " your WERE a ginger" now Ashlyn is laughing, that makes me feel good. I always enjoyed making somebody feel nice.


.


After letting the bleach settle in my hair, it was time to rinse.

" can you hold the shower head? " I question looking to ash, onetime I tried doing it by myself I ended up dropping the head on me and my hair was unevenly washed.

She nods in agreement and takes it off the hinges of the shower wall. I crouch over the bathtubs ledge and turn my head down my head slightly, a yelp leaves my mouth when I feel freezing water drip down my head. "ASHLYN." "ah— sorry"


Once the water was warm, I started scrubbing out the bleach. It was always calming, but felt a little odd with somebody standing over watching. "How do you know when it's all out?" Ash questions taking a seat on the bathtubs end. "You just gotta trust your gut" "and if it isn't all the way out??" A smile a little, then reply "then wash it out again, or hope your hair doesn't fall out." 

"I'm pretty proud to say none of my hair ever fell out!" I chirp, taking a prideful look onto my face 


.


My hair was finally finished. After rinsing and blow drying, "it looks normal." Ash sighs inspecting my hair closely. "Normal?? That's all?? Not absolutely spectacular.. Or awesome??"i throw my hand on my chest as if to look offended. She shrugs her shoulders,"i like how you look normal" "it's like an odd normal" She quickly says.

"Awe thanks ash" I give her a big grin and lightly shove her shoulder. A barley visible smile dances across her lips.


"Sure Aiden"
